"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

Vote for JeffOoi... by Kenny Sia

Kenny Sia idea for political campaining for Jeff Ooi after he annouced his introduction into politics under the opposition party. Haha... Funny one, hopefully it doesn't land him into hot soup!

Game OVer?

Barely 2 games into the season and United's stuttering season has yet to get of to an explosive start. Obtaining 2 points out of 6 is by no means championship form. With all our rivals hitting the ground running collecting maximum points and Chelsea making it 6 points out of 6 last night, that eerie chill runs down your spine and you begin to wonder come season end how its gonna be.

Granted its a long season and 2 draws is much better then 2 defeats. But having said that, after splashing 60 million pounds in the close season, I really thought we'd have been smashing in the goals. We might have, I still feel, if the manager used those players. Season opener, none was used with Nani, (the least hyped of the lot) on the bench. Where is Anderson and Hargreaves? Last night same thing. Common sense would tell you that after spending that much of cash on them, they would at least be deserving of a place on the bench.

Honestly, I think the season is over for us. Well at least the Premiership is. But granted it is a long season. I want to hope for the best but can't help thinking of the worse. Hopefully we'll finish second and win the FA Cup and the Champions League. That wouldn't be so bad now would it?

Watch your thoughts,
they become Words.

Watch your words,
they become Actions,

Watch your actions,
they become Habits,

Watch your habits,
they become your Character.

Watch your Character,
It becomes your Destiny.


Thus the above summarizes why I always end up in shit. I say, then I do, which makes me always do till what I do becomes me.

Just when I was saying we had come a long way in 50 years, but felt that we really lacked being Malaysian this has to happen. So much for my hope of better days.

It's not the clip that's got my attention but the comments by those who have viewed this clip that I think is the real problem. Why are we getting all uptight over this clip? Common, we should be more matured and not let some silly individual interpretation of our national anthem divide us. After all, the 'composer' himself has said he did not mean to insult anyone.

I honestly think its just hilarious. As a matter of fact, I'll put it up here... Really, its nothing. Lets be mature about it and not let such trivial things get between us being Malaysian.


The parody of our national anthem which has got everyone "tickled"

-Vision without a Mission-

About 7 months to go. I'm about as prepared as that. She said it right. I have the vision but no mission to achieve that mission.

I wonder how it's like in other medical schools... Better still, I wonder how it's like in other groups. Maybe its the individual. The inner drive and motivation which I clearly lack.

Talk about a bad time to lose that drive. Fuck.

Better Days?

50 years have come and gone. How far have we come? Have we moved forwards or backwards as a nation?

Sure, we have built skyscrapers, had the tallest building in the world, made a fantastic new airport, developed lands, improved quality of lives for millions, opened up education centres which even attract overseas students, produced our own national care. The list could go own and on. But really, how far have we come, as one nation?

We are the envy of millions, a multiracial society living in harmony. We have Muslims, Hindus, Christians, Buddhists, Sikhs... 50 years ago we lived against one enemy. Our lands were invaded by the British. It was then that we bonded as one, as Malaysians, not as a Malay or Chinese or Indian, but as a Malaysian and succeeded in obtaining our independence.

But as those years have gone by, we have begun to forget about our history. About being Malaysian. We are more engrossed in 'waving our keris and using our keris', we are more into who is Muslim and who is not. What happened to being Malaysian?

Below is a clip I received in an email. I did not know about this issue until then. I was shocked to know that such things do go on in our country. It is not meant to fan the flames, I am a firm believer that religion should bring peace and harmony to one and all and not cause conflict. I believe that one should be free to choose. I am proud to be Malaysian.

It is time for a change. It is time for a new independence. As the big '5-0' approaches let us strive to achieve this. Let us strive to be 'MALAYSIANS' again.
